The "Mad at the Church" series concludes with a raw, sit-down Q&A. Pastor Treadwell and Pastor Zeek tackle the tough questions you were afraid to ask about church hurt, hypocrisy, and healing. We’re going deep on: How to handle betrayal by spiritual leaders. Moving past the "judgment culture" in the pews. Finding a path back to faith when you’ve been burned. No "Christianese" and no dodging—just honest talk for anyone who’s ever been frustrated with the church but still loves Jesus. #MadAtTheChurch #PastorZeek #ChurchHurt #FaithUnfiltered #Healing #RealTalk #RiverOfLife

"If the show is loud but Jesus is quiet, we fail." In Part 1 of the "Mad at the Church" series, Pastor Zeek addresses the frustration that modern church has become more about theatrics than transformation. From fog machines to "selfie-ready" worship, he explores how showmanship can distract from the Gospel. Key Highlights: Performance vs. Presence: Why Jesus warned against doing things just to be seen (Matthew 23:5). The Goal of Church: Moving past the "feel-good" show to focus on repentance and renewal. Focus Realigned: Understanding that while tools like lights and cameras aren't the enemy, they must never replace the Spirit. Paul’s Example: Choosing the "demonstration of the Spirit’s power" over human eloquence (1 Cor 2:1-5). Challenge: This week, seek His voice, not the crowd. Seek His presence, not the performance.

Ever felt like the very place meant to offer healing is the one causing the most hurt? In Part 3 of our "Mad at the Church" series, Assistant Pastor Isaiah "Zeek" Treadwell gets real about the elephant in the sanctuary: Hypocrisy and Judgment. It’s the #1 reason people walk away from the faith, and today, we’re stopping the excuses. Pastor Zeek dives deep into why the church often struggles to practice what it preaches and how we can move past the "holier-than-thou" attitude to find a community rooted in authentic grace. In this sermon, we explore: Why we are so quick to judge others while hiding our own flaws. The difference between religious performance and a real relationship with God. How to heal from "church hurt" caused by hypocritical leadership or members. If you’ve ever been looked down upon by the "pious" or felt like you weren't "good enough" to walk through the doors, this message is for you. It’s time to tear down the masks and get back to the heart of the Gospel.
